A rugged fierce terrain represents the landscape of a man's second half of life passage in Sage.

You are invited to come home.

“If the task of the first passage is to find the man within the boy and call him forth, the task of the second passage is to find the boy within the man and bring him home.”
—Chris Bruno, Sage: A Man’s Guide into his Second Passage

To become a Sage, a man must journey inward—back to the parts of himself he has forgotten, buried, or never fully known. Midlife is not the end of the story, but a threshold. For those willing to engage, it is God’s invitation into freedom, vision, and a larger story of manhood.

Too many men settle for less. They believe their best years are behind them. But the way of the Sage is different. It is the pinnacle of manhood—the calling to live with wisdom, strength, and presence for the sake of others.

This group is a good fit for you if…

  • You sense your heart and soul asking, 
    “Is this it?”

  • You’ve achieved success—but long for something more.

  • You’re hungry for freedom, healing, and a life no longer defined by the past.

  • You long to become an elder, not just grow elderly.

  • You know your first-half story is unfinished, and you need the strength and tenderness of other men.

  • You carry a part of your younger self that is still exiled—and want to bring him home.

  • You deeply desire to know what it means to become a Sage.

A Typical Group:

You can expect the weekly format to look like:

  • Check-ins  

  • Weekly reading from Sage: A Man’s Guide into His Second Passage, plus other supplemental readings

Rob Bremer, Storywork Coach at ReStory, sits in his office chair and leads Sage Men's Group at ReStory.

I am a Storywork coach on staff with ReStory Counseling, and I am deeply committed to helping restore the hearts of men.

I will remind you of truth — you are enough, loved by God, and created with purpose.

I know the power of story — helping men face shame, trauma, and the lies they’ve believed.

I will lead with relationship — because what is broken in relationship is healed in relationship.
